Putham Pudhu Kaalai Vidiyaadhaa...: Actor Nadiya Moidu says OTT has helped people think differently

After Drushyam 2, actor Nadiya Moidu is now gearing up for the release of her much-awaited Amazon Original Series Putham Pudhu Kaalai Vidiyaadhaa…. She will be seen in a prominent role alongside Joju George in the film Mouname Paarvayaai, directed by Madhumita.

The lead actor Moidu, also a veteran in the film industry, recently spoke about the advent of OTT and its advantages. She said OTT gives more room to directors and scriptwriters who can say their stories directly, than actors. In a statement, the actor continued saying that OTT just gives that larger viewership, irrespective of the language they are watching. "It’s a big comfort that you are watching in your own mother tongue. But at least people get exposed to different states, their cultures, how things are viewed in their part of the world. All these things have helped people to think differently," she said. 

Nadiya made her debut in the Malayalam film Nokketha Doorathu Kannum Nattu (1985), alongside Mohanlal and Padmini for which she won Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Malayalam. She has been in the industry for 30 years and has been a celebrated actress in Tamil, Malayalam and Telugu cinema.

She will now be seen in the lead role in the latest original offering on Amazon Prime Video. The five-episode Tamil anthology, Putham Pudhu Kaalai Vidiyaadhaa... offers different stories of love, hope and new beginnings created by diverse filmmaking styles and perspectives. Following the success of the first edition, Putham Pudhu Kaalai Vidiyaadhaa… promises to enthrall audiences with a heartwarming narrative that celebrates the spirit of resilience and grit in the face of adversity. 

The anthology releases on January 14 on Amazon Prime Video.
